Watches - another OCD problem

[babyknight]

I'm late joining this club but finally decided to get a nice watch.  Picked up a pristine used Omega Speedmaster Pro, the sapphire sandwich edition with glass back.  Pic is of a stock brand new one, will try to post fit pics of mine in the future.

super timeless classic timepiece babyknight, wear it in good health. I still miss mine, which was stolen some years ago, when some burglars broke into my home. Great watch, congrats

Can't go wrong with a Speedie!  Enjoy it, congrats!!

Love that watch.  Quite possibly my all time favorite, and someday I'll get one myself.  Beautiful movement on those- hand winding chronographs are the best.

I tried on a 44mm version of theSppedmaster a few years back in Geneva - has anyone else seen one - the extra size really complemented it I felt.

With the 9300 movement?  Looks great with a larger wrist and hearing good things about the movement!

I prefer the manual wind in the speedie but the new version with automatic wind and date is not bad at all, beautifully executed watch. If I am going to buy a speedie again I'll stick with the older model though

Quite a lot more money though than the standard speedie.

New legs for my Dornbluth 99.0 from Rios. Very nice and reasonably priced shell cordovan.

^Nice - love the finish on that movement as well.  Going to have to add a German to my watch lineup one of these days.

Today is the first anniversary for the Steelfish and me, and I can honestly say I've been super satisfied with it. Since there's been some talk about accuracy problems with B:s I've been keeping a log since new year's eve and have gotten +1s/day since that (worn pretty much every day). I hope it'll continue like that in the future since I guess this one's a keeper.

[tigerpac]

^which movement is that?

Like that dial a lot!

[Chris]

B-17, based on the ETA 2824, I believe.

[tigerpac]

Should be pretty accurate then - and chronometer cert at the very least notes IT CAN BE accurate
